AUTOPILOT will bring IoT to advance the evolution of highly and fully automated vehicles

AUTOPILOT will use bring IoT technology to the automotive world to enable safer highly automated driving. IoT enabled automated vehicles deployed at six pilot tests sites, in France, Finland, Korea, Spain, Italy and the Netherlands, will generate data to evaluate the technical performance of the Internet of Things.

At the launch of the project, Francois Fischer, AUTOPILOT Project Coordinator and Senior Manager at ERTICO-ITS Europe explained that connectivity and the ability to collect data from thousands of objects surrounding the vehicles are seen as a key enabler for highly automated driving.

The three-year project funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research development and innovation programme, aims to advance the evolution of connected and vehicles into highly and fully automated vehicles.
